Voice Memos turns your iPhone, iPad or Apple Watch into a portable audio recorder, making it easy to capture and share personal notes, song ideas, family moments, classroom lectures and more. Editing tools like trim, replace and the new Save As feature let you fine-tune your recordings without altering the original. The transcription feature converts speech into text, simplifying the process of finding and referencing specific content. And the new feature to record a vocal layer on top of an existing instrumental recording* without the need for headphones, making it easy to capture song ideas on the go. Users can then separate and edit the vocal and instrumental layers independently to continue expanding on those ideas. And with iCloud support, you can capture audio on the go with your iOS device, then use your Mac to do even more with your recordings. Features Record • Record using the built-in microphone, a Bluetooth headset or a compatible external microphone. • Choose uncompressed audio for maximum sound fidelity, ensuring the highest-quality recordings. • Opt for compressed audio to save storage space and record longer sessions. • Automatically name recordings based on your location. • Record a vocal layer* over an instrumental track without headphones. • Stereo recording adds greater depth and dimension to your audio.** • iCloud support keeps your recordings and edits in sync across all your devices, including iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, Mac and Vision Pro. Edit • Pinch to zoom for more precision when editing. • Trim your recordings to save just the portion you want. • Replace and resume to fine-tune your recordings. • Save As lets you make edits and save them as a new recording without altering the original file. • Separate and independently edit the vocal and instrumental takes for layered recordings.* • Transcripts automatically convert speech into text for easy reference.*** • Enhance Recording reduces background noise and room reverberation with a single tap. Organise • Quickly find recordings with the search feature. • Folders make it easy to organise your recordings. • Mark recordings as Favourites so you can quickly access them later. Listen and share • Speed up or slow down playback of your recordings, or jump 15 seconds forwards or back. • Skip Silence analyses your recordings and automatically skips over gaps in your audio. • Share multiple recordings at once via AirDrop, Mail, Messages and more. • Import vocal layer* recordings into Logic Pro as a two-track project for advanced editing and production. * Adding a vocal layer on top of a Voice Memos recording is available only on the iPhone 16 Pro models. ** Stereo recording requires Apple devices equipped with stereo microphones and iOS 18 or later. *** Audio transcription is available on iPhone 12 and later in English (Australia), English (Canada), English (Ireland), English (New Zealand), English (South Africa), English (UK) and English (US).

Why you keep removing good features and adding bad ones

There’s been a feature in Voice Memos that lets you keep silence. Where is it? This has been one of the best features you speed up the recording and then you skip the silence so you can listen to it really rapidly and for absolutely no good reason you’re removing it right now like what the hell do you have to keep like removing good features like I was like what’s the point of that you keep hiding features you keep removing features you keep making features harder to access less easy to access not accessible and by the way I’m using your voice dictation feature built into Apple iOS and you can see how terrible it is now it’s your fault so you read it. I’ve absolutely no idea why you’re removing this like like I don’t. I just don’t understand this. Why?

Hi, I have always enjoyed this voice recorder, I have been amazing, I especially love the enhancement. Forest job guys. But recently it has been going south. I record and can’t save it. It just hangs. If I close the app, that voice recording is gone. It’s kind of frustrating, i will appreciate it if you could look into this. It’s draining when you pour your own heart into a recording, and can’t find it again. Thanks again for this app, love it.

Missing feature to choose a microphone for recording

While recording you can not choose a microphone to recorded. So when you are in the headphones and in loud environment, forget about making a voice memo. I often want to make a note while listening by to some book or podcast. But if you have headphone you can not choose a microphone and you need to disable AirPods and then do it to phone microphone. The same story for Apple Watch
